Kai-Uwe B. Schmidt Maria Netto Cooperative Mechanisms UNFCCC secretariat Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol Guidelines to fill CDM-PDD, CDM-NMB and CDM-NMM WB Workshop for developers Buenos Aires 5 December 2004

Project design document| Overview Based on Appendix B of the CDM M&P – was revised twice Guidelines + forms: CDM-PDD, CDM-NMB, CDM-NMM (see UNFCCC CDM web site) For A&R projects forms and guidelines are different (correspond to A&R M&P) For small-scale project activities a simplified PDD is available. Submissions of new methodologies and/or categories do not need to use forms (correspond to SSC M&P)

Project design document| Important reminders in filling forms Always reading very carefully the latest version of guidelines before filling in forms Also need to consult clarifications and guidance from the Board (see UNFCCC CDM web site section for this) before filling forms. Not to add logos, change text, forms, font or fields Fill in all requested fields

Guidelines| Overview CDM Glossary of terms: Important clarifications by EB on terms and info to be filled in the forms (e.g. project participants, crediting period, etc.) General explanations on how to fill forms (e.g. fill in English, not change logos, etc.) Explanations relating to each form (e.g. important issues to consider relating to baselines in CDM-NMB, etc) Explanations relating to each field in a form Important: The guidelines may be revised as clarifications and guidance by EB evolves.

Guidelines| Glossary of terms Important clarifications – be careful in adhering to them in filling the CDM-PDD (i.e. definition of project participants) The Glossary of terms for A&R project activities provides also for key definitions to be taken care of in filling forms

Guidelines| CDM - PDD A. General description of project activity B. Application of a baseline methodology C. Duration of the project activity / Crediting period D. Application of a monitoring methodology and plan E. Estimation of GHG emissions by sources F. Environmental impacts G. Stakeholders’ comments Annexes: Annex 1: Contact information on participants in the project activity Annex 2: Information regarding public funding Annex 3: Baseline Information Annex 4: Monitoring plan Needed info to submit CDM-NMM and CDM-NMB Needed info to submit CDM-NMM and CDM-NMB

Guidelines| CDM-NMB A. Identification of methodology B. Overall summary description C. Choice of and justification as of baseline approach D. Explanation and justification of the proposed new baseline methodology E. Data sources and assumptions F. Assessment of uncertainties G. Explanation of how the baseline methodology was developed in a transparent and conservative manner To be submitted together with CDM-NMM and CDM-PDD (sections A-E and relevant annexes) IMPORTANT: Need for ensuring consistency with CDM-NMM (i.e. formulae, data).

Guidelines| CDM-NMM A. Identification of methodology B. Proposed new monitoring methodology To be submitted together with CDM-NMM and CDM-PDD (sections A-E and relevant annexes) Two options for monitoring emission reductions depending on project type and baseline methodology (i.e. need to monitor emissions in the baseline scenario and the project scenario OR of the project scenario only) IMPORTANT: Need for ensuring consistency with CDM-NMB (i.e. formulae, data)
